Homies

Only in Idaho can you find homies like these.

In Idaho (and possibly numerous states), you and your homies - also considered your close friends - can go camping, bar hopping, shooting, hunting, fishing, etc.

When I first moved to Moscow, Idaho, I figured that everyone I met would be a sorority or fraterinty member, or a redneck. I've come to find that there are many different diverse people who live in this society.

The boys you see in this picture are (left to right) Avery, Vince, and Ralphie, who love to party, who love to chill, who love to do pretty much anything. When I was in high school, I had some friends... but going to college is a different ordeal. You meet all kinds of people with different interestes who spark a flame in your life. Avery taught me how to swing dance and belly dance (as weird as that sounds), and every time he visits me when he comes down from Spokane, he teaches me a new kind 0f dance. Now, every time I go to a bar or dance club, I think of Avery when I'm showin' 'em Mah moves!

Vince taught me how to meet people - he told me how to talk to people I have never met before... I'm generally a pretty shy person, but now I can open up to anyone I have a class with in college, I can talk to people about common interests or schooling... I can socialize with people at parties...

Ralphie taught me how to play hacky sack. I've beein playing since I was in eight grade, since I met Ralphie and his friends, and now I can do certain tricks, such as stalls. I have a record of hitting the hack with my foot 59 times in a row.

Life in Idaho is probably similar to everywhere else - you meet people you never thought you would, and you learn things from them. However, the homies you meet in Idaho stick.
